[Opensource] The Great Frames Debate

Hey All,

I'd like to see some suggestions about this particular issue:

Several people have voiced their disgust with the current frames used in 
Expresso.  I certainly agree that I'm not a frames fan myself.  However, 
here's the problem:

Currently by using frames, we have the ability to have items like DBMaint's 
jsps to behave as a drop in replacement for people's applications.  Since 
DBMaint's JSP is just part of a frame, the jsp doesn't have to me modified 
one iota to stand alone without the frames.

If we did everything via Tiles, then for folks to use the jsps, hand 
editing would have to be done for each item that folks want to work standalone.

Needless to say, this stinks.

So, is there anybody that has a suggestion on how to remove the frames, 
WITHOUT removing any of the benefits that frames provide?

Thanks for your thoughts on this.
						-Mike
